 Crowd Fired Upon and Two Killed.
 DUBLIN, Sept. 9.-A conflict occurred to
 day at the meeting which was held in Market
 Square at Mitchellstown. The police were
 trying to protect a government stenographel
 when a fight took place and the crowd re- l pulsed the police, sixty in number, several l of whom were struck with sticks and stones | and severely injured. The police obtained | endorsements and returned to the scene | They fired six shots and two men were in stantly killed. Several other persons were | wounded. The rioters dispersed, but they now threaten to gather again.
 The meeting in Market Square was attend | ed by seven thousand persons. Messrs. Dillon, Brunner, Labouchere, John Ellis and O'Hea were present. A government reporter 1 with an escort of police tried to push to the | front. The crowd resisted them with sticks l and stones. The police then made charge against the crowd and were repulsed by men l on horseback. MT. Condon tried to pacify l the crowd. MT. Dillon advised them to treat the police with silent contempt because home ] rule was nearly won and the Irish forces would be under the control of the people 1n- stead of as now in the hands of their enemies. The TOW was renew ed, however, and endorsements of
  racks fired their rifles into the crowd. One man was killed and several others were wounded. One of the wounded has since died. The police next charged and dispersed the crowd. MT. Labouchere was witness of the whole scene from a carriage. He asked Magistrate Seagrave if meeting night could be held elsewhere without molestation. Sea- grave replied that meeting might be held any where outside the town. Then consta- ble came up and spoke to Seagrave, and the latter arrested himself, decliniug to allow meeting to be held anywhere. Seagraye was in habit when the police fired. It is not known who ordered them to fire. MT. Dill lon, Father O'Callaghan and Father O'Con- nell followed the police and entered the bar racks with them. The two priests were put out. Mir. Dillon was inside during the firing. He says much confusion prevailed, nobody seeming to be in command. NIT. Labouchere arrived later and asked the inspector to ascertain who fired the shots. The inspector refused to make any such in- quiry. A youth has been found who says he can identify the constable who killed Rior- dan. Dr. Fenton expresses the opinion that Riordan was not killed by bullet but by blow on the head with the muzzle of car bine. Fifty-four constables were treated for slight injuries.
 -Mitchellstown is quiet to night. MT. Dillon remains there, but Mir. Labouehere has gone to Cork. The persons killed were an old man named Riordan, resident of the locality and an elderly cabman from Fernoy. The injuries received by the police consist chiefly of scalp wounds and bruises.
 LONDON, Sept. 9.-In the House of Com mons this evening, replying to MT. Sexton, MT. Smith, the government leader, said that he had received no details of the trouble at Mitohellstown and that the government had no official information regarding the affair.
 Mr. Sexton called attention to the fact that eight hours after the affair had occurred the government had received no report of it.
